What exactly is Enterprise 2.0 Anyway?

As good as Google, is almost never good enough in corporate applications. If that presumption were true, FAST, Autonomy and Endeca simply wouldn’t exist, we’d all own Google Appliances for our Enterprise level search needs.

The thing I always think is missing inside the enterprise is scale. Google, Flickr and any tool that relies on the wisdom (or otherwise) of crowds only works effectively if there is a large crowd. Most enterprises don't have the internal critical mass needed.
